MagViewMagView is a magneto-optical readout device for fast and precise visualization of magnetic field structures. The handheld device can be applied for qualitative testings and stray field analyses. MagView visualizes magnetic stray fields of credit cards, magnetic encoders and multipole magnets.
More information on MagView available from Matesy's Website. |
CMOS-MagViewThe “Magnetic Field Camera” System CMOS-MagView is a high resolution magnetic measurement and visualization system. It allows magnetic field mapping under the stimulation of leakage flux / stray field.
More information on CMOS-Magview available from Matesy's Website. |
MagEye With the MagEye the magneto-optical analysis becomes easier than ever before. The system enables nondestructive realtime investigation of magnetic stray fields with simultaneous evaluation. Conveniently – with a simple hand movement.

Operating PrincipleThe magneto-optic principle is based on the Faraday effect. It describes the rotation of the plarizaton plane of linearly polarized light when passing through a transparent medium. When light passes through a magneto-optical medium, the different angles of rotation of the polarization depends on the local magnetic field strength, resulting in contrast-differences which can be visually evaluated. Thus, a direct, real-time visualization of a quasi-static magnetic field over the entire sensor surface is achieved.  |

Magnetic UnitsConversion of Gauss to Tesla: 1µG = 0.1nT, 1mG = 100nT, 1G = 100µT, 10G = 1mT, 10,000G = 1T Relationship between Magnetic Flux Density (B) and Magnetic Field Strength (H): In vacuum (or air) B=µoH. For SI units µo = 4pi x 10-7H/m, B is expressed in Tesla and H in Ampere turn/m or A/m. Hence in vacuum or air a flux density of 1T = 796kA/m. For cgs units µo = 1, B is expressed in gauss and H in oersted. Hence in vacuum or air a flux density of 1 gauss = 1 oersted.
